High School Happyness, with a "y".

Austin then, July 1996

School has always been a challenge for Austin, not because he can't do the work and doesn't have the ability to do it. Austin is very bright. We went to an open house tonight for NUAMES, Northern Utah Academy for Math Engineering & Science. About 15 minutes into the presentation, I was "gitty." Finally, finally, finally! This is exactly what Austin needs. However, it isn't my decision to make, he is the one that has to decide if it is something he is willing to do. I wrote "yes or no" on a piece of paper and about 30 minutes into the presentation Austin circled "yes." I could have jumped up and down and started laughing and crying all at the same time!!! He is so excited about the opportunity. We have found his new Austin high school!

NUAMES is a grade ten-through-twelve public charter high school specializing in preparing students for an early transition into a university baccalaureate program in fields related to math, engineering, or science. http://www.nuames.org/ YAAA-HOOOOO!!!

Wow - you have been busy! I am impressed - I can't wait to read your blog all the time and catch up on the Arik's.
Look at cute little Austin - can you believe they were ever that little?
Congrats on the High school - I am excited for him.
